I'd Rather Not Live Like

Teenagers Expressing This On A Daily Basis In The Middle Of The Streets - You Can't Help But Believe We Are In The Mind State Of Taking Our Losses And Changing People's Perceptions Of Us And Our Community. We Are Strong. Our Families Are Tired Of Being Hurt.

I Sit And Talk To Kids All Day, Because I Feel Like They Carry The Most Wisdom.

The More People I Meet, The More Cultures I Start To Embrace, The More People I Open Myself Up To - It's A Growing Process I'm Excited About. But It's Also A Challenge For Me, To Be At This Level And Still Be Able To Connect With Somebody Who's Living That Everyday Life. At First It Was Something I Struggled With, Because Everything Was Moving So Fast. I Didn't Know How To Digest It. The Best Thing I Did Was Go Back To The City Of Compton, To Touch The People Who I Grew Up With And Tell Them The Stories Of The People I Met Around The World.

Since Day One, Since The First Time I Touched The Pen, I Wanted To Be The Best At What I Do.
